The laminated eight-page 'Mumba Mail' newsletter serves as both menu and an introduction to icons such as Sachin Tendulkar, the Chor Bazar ‘Thief Market’, Bollywood inevitably and the Dabbawala. Those are the city’s tiffin box deliverers, who by bicycle and other energy-efficient means provide 200,000 cooked lunches to workers each day (beat that, Deliveroo). 

Their ‘street food’ section features pav, a kind of veggie burger, fried pakoras and several variants on puris, those delicate, hollow pastries with spicy fillings. You'll also find chaat salads and, of course masala dosa with sambar, the South Indian breakfast pancake. Prices for these small dishes hover around the £6 mark. 

From the Tandoor oven we recommend fish haryali tikka and the veg sizzler plate – the highlight of which is the paneer tikka (spicy, grilled Indian cheese).
